An interview with Kate Hicks - Founder of Birth Trauma Aotearoa

This episode of the Healing Birth Podcast has a particularly Aotearoa, New Zealand focus. It delves into the work of a Kiwi mama whose passionate drive and determination is making positive changes to the New Zealand landscape of birth trauma support. Kate Hicks is a Manawatū-based full-time mum to two. She is also the creator of Aotearoa's key birth trauma support website called, My Birth Story, which she developed following her own negative birth experience and which she launched in 2018.

More recently, Kate founded Birth Trauma Aotearoa, a new charitable trust working in the birth trauma space here in New Zealand, focusing on advocacy, education, research and support with the aim of preventing birth-related harm and improving equitable access to support services following birth trauma.

Be inspired and hopeful as you hear Kate share about the important work that she and the Birth Trauma Aotearoa trust are doing out there.
